Now I get the “muzzle.” I’m liking this a lot better now.
Wolf Man trailer. Looks pretty good. Bummer that it’s coming out mid-January instead of mid-October.
I just pulled all my Far Sector comics out of bins I am taking to a sale this weekend. Setting up at a flea market again.
Tell us how it goes. I love a lil’ comic show or flea market.
Did well last time, this time I have 8 $3 boxes, 2 priced as marked boxes (including some Absolute Batman covers) and a ton more.
I can see myself setting up at local small cons in the not so
Distant future to start thinning out my collection.
I buy a lot and cheap. I bag and board the good looking stuff and sell it for $3. Last time I did really well and people skipped over the $1 stuff. Fingers crossed that taking more results in more money. This could become a thing for me if it does.
So far it has been slow. Sold enough to cover the cost of the booth and the tables but that’s about it. Sold a bunch of physical media (Blu-ray’s) that I get super cheap
Ha. Pulled a copy of The Lot #1 out of the $3 bin. Made money off myself.
Is t that funny…you should experiment where you have multiple copies of a book….out them in the $1 and $3 bin and see what sells more…
It’s like $1 is too low that people just assume it is all drek and a waste of time…but $2 and $3 bins “might” is just be high enough a price that some non-drek could still be in there…
I searched through a lot of $2/$3 bins at NYCC.
If your plan is to set up there again/regularly or build a following, You almost have to leave a few “prizes” to entice repeat customers…not so much $20 books or we’ll know keys…but those “sneaky” $10 books that aren’t quite worth listing on eBay or take a long time to sell…
Another strategy is if you have $5/$10 books maybe offer a discount if they pick up so many $1 or $2 books.
that’s what I do for my ebay listings
I had some good books in there
New Mutants 100
Warrior Nun #1
Some Steranko Nick Fury issues
Def some winners in there.
While it wasn’t a great day yesterday at the flea market, broke even with a small profit, I picked up a copy of Shinobi #1 (Newsstand) for .50 out of a dealers booth. Was kinda roached. Sold it for $40 plus shipping today. Took about 4 hours to sell. Helped make my profit on yesterday even bigger.
Perhaps there should be a thread for selling at shows…compile everyone’s tips for setting up and selling. What works, what doesn’t, and what to be careful or mindful of.
Thanks for the heads up on this Bill! $26.74 was the total shipped.
I went ahead and purchased one (better than a ‘kinda roached’ Shinobi #1 IMO )
Looks like it was first published (Father Gaetano’s Puppet Catechism) in 2012 - solid 4.6/5 rating on Amazon
